i mean in Octave:

octave:1> A = [1 2 3;4 5 6]
A =

   1   2   3
   4   5   6

octave:2> A(4)
ans =  5

but in MATLAB, A(4) would be 4.  also

octave:3> size(A)
ans =

   2   3

in Octave the inherent stride of this 2-dim array is 2, the first element of 
the size() vector, in MATLAB it is 3, the second element.

that's all i meant.
